Our students are expected to conduct themselves responsibly and appropriately at all times. The rights and feelings of others will be respected. Each student shall demonstrate a high regard for school facilities and property and the personal property of others. Failure to abide by accepted school conduct policies can result in suspension or termination from a program. In addition, restitution will be required by the student, if appropriate.
Regular attendance is the responsibility of the student and is considered by industry and DMTC to be a key factor in successfully completing a program and competing in industry. The attendance record is used in making job recommendations, granting certificates of completion, and determining grades. Poor attendance can reflect on grades and satisfactory completion of a program. Consequently, the student is strongly encouraged to become familiar with the attendance policy for the program he/she is enrolled in. Absences, class cuts, and tardiness of students receiving Veteran’s educational benefits are reported to the Veteran's Administration. All makeup work should be arranged through the instructor. A student with excessive absences or lack of attendance in a program will be withdrawn from the program by DMTC’s administration.
Student parking is allowed only in the student parking area in the front parking lots of DMTC during regularly scheduled class hours. Exceptions must be approved by administration. Vehicles may not block emergency exit areas, school bus loading zones, or designated fire lanes.
Because of the small size of our school, no campus security personnel are employed. Campus security is considered the responsibility of all DMTC employees.
Students in need of assistance or wishing to report a crime should contact their instructor or any other school employee. The appropriate law enforcement agency (Delta County Sheriff’s Department) will be contacted as necessary. If no school employee is immediately available, the student should contact or call the Delta County Sheriff's office at 874-2000 or dial 911 for assistance.
In the event of a crime or security problem on campus, the Delta County Sheriff will be contacted to investigate or aid in the situation.
In accordance with Colorado revised statute 25-14-103.5, which prohibits the use of tobacco on school property, the use of tobacco by postsecondary students, staff, and visitors is allowed only in designated smoking areas. The designated smoking areas are:
· Outside and around the corner from the Nursing classroom.
